Advanced Fields - Multiple Select

A Multiple Select Field can be used to provide a list of multiple options for your users to select either one or more choices. The "Multiple Select" field properties may be set once the field is clicked on.

Field Label: This property is the text placed next to the form field that describes the type of data you want visitors to input.

Options: Set the field to be "Required" or “Masked” by clicking the checkbox accordingly.

  • Required: Checking this option will force the user to fill out this field. An error message will be displayed if this field is left blank.
  • Masked Field: Replaces the field data with asterisks (*) in the submission email. This data will still be viewable in the Data Manager.

Show Field to: Set the field to be “Everyone” or "Admin Only" by selecting that radio button.

Choices: You can use the “+” and “-” buttons to add and delete choices. Click on the checkbox to make a choice the default selection.

  • Randomize Choices: the choices will be shown in random order every time the field is viewed. 
  • Alphabetize Choices: the choices will be shown in alphabetical order.
  • Score: The score will be added up when Form Settings/Calculate Score is enabled (Paid feature).

Import predefined choices: To import predefined choices, such as a list of Countries, Days, and Months, you can click the ‘Import Predefined Choices’, select a list, and add it to your field. You can customize the choices before or after adding.

Display of options: This property sets the visual size of the field in your form. It does not determine the amount of data that can be collected by the field.

Cell Align: You can select the field to be left, center, or right aligned by selecting from the “Cell Align” drop-down.

Instructions for User: This is an optional property that displays the text specified to your users while they’re filling out that particular field. These instructions appear below the field input box.

Field ID: This property is a unique value assigned to a specific field. It can be used in conjunction with dynamic tokens to insert entry data to customize the AutoResponder confirmation message. Note: This value is assigned after a form has been saved.

Once you set the field options, please do not forget to click "Save Form" to save your work.
